When I first left my job at a clinic, I accepted any potential clients who called and wanted to see me; I needed to. I was desperate to help people, but I was also desperate to be able to pay myself and make my business work. But what that meant was that I ended up working with some clients who were not an ideal fit for my orientation and style. Did I cause them any harm? Certainly not. But was I the best fit for them and did they make as much progress as they could have if I had been operating from a place of plenty (as I am now) and had the ability to refer them to someone who I thought would be a better match for them? Heck yeah!

Here’s the rub: Therapists do this because they really want to help people. But they also need to make a living. And when you have not figured out how to make a consistent, predictable living doing this work, you end up taking on clients from a place of fear. We don’t want our clients to be operating that way, so why are we?

You weren’t born knowing how to be a great therapist. You went to school for that. So why are you trying to figure out how to run a business without any training? You don’t have to spend the next five or ten years struggling trying to figure this out.
